In need of a more humbleness. Why condemning the Theistic position makes no sense.

It doesn't have to be that way.
On this point, I agree with you. Humans like labels, and they're willing to fight to define and defend them.

As I said earlier; most atheists are ok with theists having whatever belief they want, it just seems that so many (most) theistic beliefs include bigotry toward those outside the group. Atheists don't mind theists having beliefs, it's when those beliefs contain judgment that atheists speak out loudly (or 'in need of more humbleness') as your thread title states.

I am humble up until the point where someone (anyone) gets in my face (politics included) and forces their beliefs upon me - which is exactly what most theistic positions attempt to do. Once that point has been reached, I fight for my life with all of the voracity I can muster, and if that looks like a lack of humility in that circumstance, then I say "kudos for me" and anyone else who is willing to defend their right to believe as they wish without coercion.
